The third edition of the 2024 College Football Playoff rankings were just unveiled on ESPN.

Last weekend, the most notable CFP-related results featured Georgia beating Tennessee and Kansas upsetting previously unbeaten BYU. Those games had an impact on this week's top 25, with BYU plummeting from No. 6 to No. 14, though the Cougars maintained the 12th and final spot in the bracket.

Meanwhile, Tennessee fell from No. 7 to No. 11 (First Team Out of bracket), with Georgia moving from No. 12  and the First Team Out of the bracket to No. 10 overall and the 11th seed. If the Playoff began this weekend, the Vols would be out of the mix, though there is still plenty of time for things to change. 

Boise State is only 12th in the overall rankings, but holds onto the No. 4 seed and the final first round bye. The top three seeds are No. 1 Oregon, No. 3 Texas and No. 8 Miami (Fla).
